What kind of camera is used?
Events, photo sessions and weddings are photographed using an iPhone 18 Pro Max. We have lenses to use when needed but most of the time no additional lenses are used or needed. We have an adapter to attach the iPhone to so that there is a traditional shutter button.
Why do you not use a digital camera?
In 2026, there are a lot of high end, expensive bulky cameras available on the market where the UI will slow you down during the event or wedding. However, using an iPhone provides the options for a better user experience, quick adjustments, but still providing high quality images. Now with the iPhone 18 Pro Max, the quality and range has improved even more, making it that much closer to a mirrorless or DSLR camera. Although resolution is extremely important, the price of the camera does not improve the quality of the photographer or the customer service/experience they provide.
Does using an iPhone require all photos to be edited to provide better quality?
Even with a camera that can cost $4,000 or more, editing is still needed in the photos taken during an photoshoot, event or wedding. To be even more comparable to a digital camera, iPhone allows you to use the same RAW file format that a DSLR or mirrorless camera which allows flexibility with editing. Most photos you see from any photographer will be edited in some way and not the image straight from the camera. Not only having an “eye” for photography, but editing is also part of the art and creativity of photography. Photography is an art and requires a level of skill as well as creativity to provide a unique image.

How do you send the photos after event, photo session or wedding?
All photos are provided to you in a digital format and in an iCloud Shared Album. The album is available for 30 days for you to save and/or download the photos.
Do you offer file sharing via Google Photos or Drop Box?
No. we do not use other photo sharing services like Google Photos or Drop Box. Compared to iCloud Shared Albums, Google Photos and Drop Box both have a file size limit and will compress the high resolution photos that are provided to you.
Are there watermarks on the images in the provided digital photos?
No, there are no watermarks. We do not charge you for the session, event or wedding and then again for all the images. We charge you for a package in which it is affordable and includes the photos on top of the event we are hired to do. If you want photos edited, there is additional small charge but can be included in your package that you choose.
